### 2.4 Inspecting and editing configuration files

Once you have created or modified a conversion project, you can use the DITA2Go Project Manager to access settings in both the source-specific and the starting configuration files. The Project Manager opens these files for editing in the text editor of your choice; see § Specify a text editor.

When you click Edit Ini Files, you can choose to edit either the starting configuration file or the source-specific configuration file. See §39.4 Deciding which configuration file to edit.

Depending on the type of output, the DITA2Go Project Manager adds to your starting configuration file certain settings that are not normally needed by the main program:

    [Automation]
    ; MakeFTS = Yes (default, create a search index for JavaHelp or
    ; Oracle Help for Java) or No
    MakeFTS = Yes
    ; MakeJar = Yes (default, package JavaHelp outpu in a .jar file) or No
    MakeJar = Yes
    ; MakeArchive = Yes (default, archive output in a .zip file) or No
    MakeArchive = Yes
    ; UseDCLSource = No (default) or Yes, convert from .dcl if available
    UseDCLSource = No
    ; UseDCLOutput = No (default) or Yes, convert to .dcl instead of
    ; formatted output
    UseDCLOutput = No

Based on the choices you make on the Run Options tab (see §2.5 Running a DITA2Go conversion), the Project Manager switches these settings on and off when appropriate for the output type you select.
